Health Insurance

CBF Church Benefits is committed to helping you and your church navigate the Health Insurance Marketplace. Church Benefits has gathered various sources of educational material, videos and links that will help you through the process.

The Health Insurance Marketplace is a new way for individuals and small employers to find affordable coverage. You will be able to compare plans all in one place based on coverage, quality, and price. The Marketplace will determine if you qualify for lower cost and assistance with your out of pocket expenses. You can also find out if you are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP (Children Health Insurance Program). The Marketplace offers health insurance plans through private companies and no provider can turn you down or charge you a different price because of an illness or preexisting condition.

The links below will automatically direct you to the Health Insurance Marketplace based on your interest. Also included is the Church Benefits Healthcare Reform Workshop presented at CBF 2013 General Assembly. In this workshop, Gary Skeen discussed the Affordable Care Act and how it will impact you and your church.

Additionally, we are creating blogs, presentations and articles that will keep you informed of the latest updates. If you have any questions or would like to be added to our subscriber list on Health Care Updates, please send your request to churchbenefits@churchbenefits.org. We hope that this information will assist in your decision making process and provide you with a deeper understanding of the law.

With the Affordable Care Act mandating that most Americans purchase health insurance beginning in 2014, some people – especially those who are young or healthy – are questioning why they need coverage at all. An illness or injury can interrupt your plans, but they don’t need to deplete your savings or jeopardize all that you’ve worked for. Quality medical insurance can help protect you and the ones you love, against the unpredictable, unexpected and fundamentally uncontrollable health problems that come up in life. We want to make sure you have the right coverage for your needs, which is why we offer a wide variety of plans – including HMO, PPO, POS and HSA plans.
